No sales, no investors, and a $10k Cloudflare grant anyway
https://github.com/EdgeKits/repoaccess-core
Zero sales, no funding, just me. Cloudflare for Startups activated $10k in credits for 12 months on the Tier 3 track: bootstrapped, no investors, a public site, an open-source repo on npm. If you're bootstrapped on Cloudflare, the program isn't only for funded startups.
Thanks for sharing the numbers, that makes it much easier to follow.
Helpful post. How did you get your first bit of traction?
Appreciate the honesty here, most people only share the wins.
Nice progress. What is the next thing you are focusing on?
Interesting take. Would you still recommend this approach to someone starting today?

Interesting. How are you measuring whether it is working?
Good write-up. What would you do differently if you started again?
Curious how long it took before you saw the first real results?
Depends which results you mean.
The credits took about 20 days from applying. The application got lost somewhere on their side, and the decision came a few days after I emailed Cloudflare for Startups to ask about it. So if you apply and hear nothing for a couple of weeks, write to them.
Results from customers: none yet. The product has been public for about three weeks and has zero sales. That's the result I'm still waiting for.
